In total, the itinerary of 'Murcia River' will have about 1,500 trees, since the 800 of the Alameda and the river walk must add the 544 trees of the Malecón and 64 new specimens that have been planted in the garden of the Four Stones, recently inaugurated.
'Murcia River' will become the second environment with a greater plantation of large trees of the municipality, after the Greenway that connects the districts of the South, which in the coming weeks will be planted a total of 1,800 new trees along its 8.5 km of layout.
Recovery of the irrigation ditch of La Arboleja
The works of the Garden of the Alameda, which are advancing at a good pace and are expected to finish at the beginning of 2019, involve the recovery of the La Arboleja irrigation ditch, which will irrigate the various terraces with vegetation on the plot and the avenue, as the revegetation of the embankment of the highway.
80% of the earthworks, the traditional irrigation system and the infrastructures (channeling of the ditch, pipes and lighting) of the new garden have already been executed.
During the month of November will continue the plantations of shrubs and the set of infrastructures will be finalized.
In December the planting of trees and the installation of furniture and children's games will begin.
The new environment will have night lighting.
Advances in the river walk 'Murcia Río'
With respect to the works of the new river walk 'Murcia River' has already completed 50% of the structure for the new platform or platform flush with the water level on the left bank, at the height of the Manterola footbridge, which will allow the walk along the river, recovering the naturalization and accessibility to the Segura shore.
This itinerary, which establishes a new connection of the city with the Huerta, will connect the existing area between the Manterola footbridge and the Alameda del Malecón, on the other side of the highway, through the creation of a promenade that will allow you to 'see the Segura' and It will stand slightly above the river and offer a direct view of its course, as an alternative route to the Malecón.
Construction has also begun on a new landscaped area next to Calle Mayor Gaspar de la Peña, demolishing the existing sidewalk that will be incorporated into the garden.
